I tell you what Cajun Pasta is some good eating.
Sent from my iPhone using Crappie.com
I like that bow tie pasta in that one
That looks yummy. Unfortunately unless we go to a restaurant I don’t get spicy anymore. My girls won’t eat it so we usually make stuff they will eat.
Wife won't eat it either. Small batch and I eat a lot of leftovers. If need be freeze some. So much better than a restaurant when you make it yourself exactly like you like itQuote:

I do spicy and love it while I am eating it. Not so much later. :banghead
I have made some chilli that would be stout but acceptable today.. once all those flavors merged and married. That stuff went 5 alarm
It certainly was good
The most famous Cajun pasta here in New Orleans is "Crawfish Monica"...I'm sure you can use shrimp instead of crawfish.

Thank you for the recipe. Shrimp are easier to come by here than crawfish.
Yes, and real peeled Louisiana crawfish tails is very expensive.Quote:

I ordered some tails once from The Cajun Grocer as well as other stuff, made so much gumbo I froze it for winter some years ago.
Search - Crawfish
Gumbo is another one of my favorites
I recon I can say I'm a bit spoilt then. My sweetheart is originally from South Louisiana, down Abbeville way. Cajun food is on the menu right regular. Gumbo, oh man, And she has not figured a way to make it in small batches, so their is always some in the freezer!!!!
Yeah, Abbeville... Santa uses alligators to pull his sleigh down there.Quote:

There's a lot of Red Bean and Rice recipes out there, but this one seem the most traditional.The only thing I would change instead of water I would use chicken stock.Quote:
